This is a wonderful site and I am so happy to see and read about everyone. I am addicted into checking it out more than once a week to see all of the new names and updated profiles.
I will respond to all messages but I wanted to add to my profile first. Thank you to everyone who has said hello. Being so far from BA, its great to see people reach out. I miss Oklahoma and I look forward to coming back to see everyone. So many beautiful faces, amazing families...I keep thinking how lucky we were to have such a large student body and to be honest, so many great people back then and to see that "greatness" is still evident.
OK...enough rambling...20 years from graduation...I went to Boston University...had a great time and I am still here. Studied Engineering and after I realized I didnt want to do that for my entire life, I changed directions and was recruited to be a Buyer for Filenes (now Macys). Love New England...its a great part of the country to live. Havent lost my Oklahoma heart though...still say "ya'll"....along with a few other things that keep people here on there toes. Found that my Oklahoma roots and the great way that people from Oklahoma naturally are, have definitely made me stand out and have led me to have such a strong network of people out here. Now and then I will say, "Caah...that is Car in Boston..."
Now I work for ECCO Shoes as a Buyer and life is great. I have uploaded some pictures. Some of me, my girlfriend and her son...I will find more that have all of us together. Lastly, coming from someone very far away...I hope more people will take the time to add pictures and more information about themselves and their lives. I know that its not easy sometimes to attach photos and information about yourself, but it truly is great to have everyone be able to connect with each other.

If you have gotten this far, I have to keep this one short. Had a lot of time to think about this. I remember the people the most about BA...
David Grigsby...you were the best friend a guy could have. Miss talking to you. Jenifer...you still are in my heart cause you were special and we went through alot...all good...but alot...the whole basketball team...going to all the parties and NOT drinking...(I just laughed out loud at that one...)...supporting all of the different facets of the HS...from football games to band...(and that band picture from the yearbook is classic...I showed people at my job that picture and they thought you guys were rockstars...hot tub for the band?!!!!)
I look through the yearbook pictures and I can almost recall something from most people...from Kathy Bailey to Steve Genzel to Christy White to Denise Ziegler to Traci Martin to Casey DeGiacomo to Damon Bedell to Russ Frisillo to Chris Oney....and all in between.....
Look foward to hearing from more people...
